Does it coast just a touch,or will it not hold at all. what battery,2s,3s,stick pack? You can get some extra heavy springs for the brushes,that should help. |

Check the neutral settings on your radio as well. If it is set slightly forward or backward, it will tend to coast a bit. And yeah, like EP said, a new, quality motor will do wonders for drag! |

The motor is fairly new but the truck isn't that heavy it's 5lbs 2oz with the battery and I'll say it would probably creep down a decent grade

if your trim isn't the issue i'd try another motor, I had a fresh out of the package venom 55t and it would not hold at all with the drag brake, put in the old integy motor and it'll do stoppies.

I'm not a fan of Integy products, however I do have a V11 35T running on 3s and an FX-R in my 9 pound scaler, and have no issue with drag. I did add Trinity Purple springs but other than that it's stock. Unfortunately I think they're hit or miss. I run a Br00d 40T Creep Type R in my 2.2 (5lbs 9oz) on 3s and an FX-R and it will roll slightly even at 100% drag. For what I was looking for in a motor I gave up a bit of mechanical drag in favor of smoother low end/start up. Honestly, I modified my drive style for the better because of this motor. As Jeremy said, you will not be dissapointed with a Br00d |
